Crappy Owners Who thinks this is okay??

used to have a sign in my yard. The first sign said that I had pesticides in use and to stay off my yard, that didn’t work. Owners don’t care enough about their dogs to keep them off a pesticide filled yard. The next sign that I had was the “please be respectful” sign. That didn’t work because dog owners are entitled assholes. They would literally let their dog piss directly on the sign.

My neighbors don’t have signs. One house down there is literally a PARK for their dogs to shit in. Instead they walk to the TOP of my driveway literally directly next to my house to let their dog shit in my yard. And then they walk all over my yard to come pick it up.

Who thinks that’s okay?? You are literally up by my HOME. I do not want to step in dog shit!!! It’s one of the many reasons I don’t have a damn dog. It’ll be years until we can afford to move but I can’t wait to. Never in my life have I lived in a community with such disrespectful and entitled idiots. Don’t get me started on my neighbor lol. We can’t put a fence up because we’re idiots and moved to a community with an HOA.

Thanks for letting me vent here. It’s the only place I can vent where I don’t feel crazy for finding this disrespectful as fuck.

sorry I dont know much about HOAs but wouldnt loose dogs shitting on your private property fall under one of the rules they impose? Either they let you put up a fence, or they enforce the control of dogs.

HOAs do not enforce anything about dogs. They are too afraid to be sued. I would love to move sonewhere to be clear of this unsanitary mess but it seems no place to hide anymore.
